Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:12:40 +0530 From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: linuxppc-dev@...abs.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: michael@...erman.id.au, mikey@...ling.org Subject: [PATCH V4 1/5] powerpc, perf: Add new BHRB related instructions for POWER8 This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading and clearing Branch History Rolling Buffer entries. The new instruction 'mfbhrbe' (move from branch history rolling buffer entry) is used to read BHRB buffer entries and instruction 'clrbhrb' (clear branch history rolling buffer) is used to clear the entire buffer. The instruction 'clrbhrb' has straight forward encoding. But the instruction encoding format for reading the BHRB entries is like 'mfbhrbe RT, BHRBE' where it takes two arguments, i.e the index for the BHRB buffer entry to read and a general purpose register to put the value which was read from the buffer entry.
